Days When the Rains Came...to the Jimmy Buffett Concert

For Father's Day, Denise & I surprised Joseph & James with tickets to the Jimmy Buffett concert. James has been on the boat EVERY single time Jimmy Buffett has come anywhere near the Philly/NY area. We originally missed the tickets as it sold out immediately. I guess it was meant to be since Denise came across tickets a few weeks ago and they were awesome seats (Row 17 in section C right on the field in front of the stage).

We put on our tropical gear (we were VERY tame compared to some of the people we saw) and headed to Citizens Bank Ballpark for the show.

We grabbed something to eat at the ballpark and made our way to our seats! The seats were great! We just knew it was going to be an awesome time!

James took a picture of me taking a picture of Joseph and Denise. Good thing, because otherwise I would only have the next picture of them!

The Year of Still Here Tour

Having fun listening to G. Love and Special Sauce.

And then the rains came... (not sure who that guy is or why he was posing for my picture! LOL).

We headed to higher ground since Jimmy's appearance was postponed a little while due to the thunderstorms. It didn't really matter, we were already SOAKED.

We hung out on the upper levels for a little while, had a drink and headed back down to the field.

We got to our seats just in time for Jimmy to take the stage.

It looks kind of far here, but it was really awesome in person.

The screens sort of shorted out or something during the rain, see all the black squares on the screen?

I think Joseph and James had a pretty good time too!

Hopefully we will get to do it again sometime!

Amy & Joe Get Married

The ceremony room was decorated beautifully.

Joe and his best man.

Melissa, Amy's sister and Maid of Honor.

Julianna the Flower Girl.

Right after the picture above, Juli ran out of flower petals about halfway to 3/4 of the way down the aisle. She stopped and put her hand to her mouth and was like "uh oh!". LOL! They had given out cones with flower petals in them to throw instead of rice. She was right next to my aunt when it happened. I think it was my aunt - James had to tell me since I was outside with Juli. I had to sneak in between Amy and Juli. Anyway, she leaned out and dumped her petals into Juli's basket. As she walked down the aisle everyone else started doing the same thing!! LOL It was SO cute!

Taking her place.

Amy and her dad, Rick.
